The
Connecticut WIC Program will not be
offering open enrollment for new vendors in January 2016 due to the
implementation of a new statewide Management Information System (MIS) and the
conversion from checks to an eWIC card.

Beginning
in January, the Program will start to issue WIC benefits on an eWIC card and paper
WIC checks will be phased out. At the
time of rollout, we are anticipating that all authorized WIC vendors will already
have their contracts in place with Xerox and that their stores are ready to
accept eWIC cards. Rollout of eWIC will
continue throughout Connecticut until May 2016.

The
next open enrollment for vendors will be January 2017 and the information will
be posted here.

Note: WIC vendor
authorization cannot be transferred from one owner to another. A new
application must be submitted.

Any
store interested in becoming an authorized WIC vendor must apply during an enrollment
period. Only vendors that are authorized as WIC vendors by the State of
Connecticut WIC Program may redeem Connecticut WIC benefits.

Thank you for your interest in the
Connecticut WIC Program.
